l To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that ll, JOSEPH GEORGE JACK- soN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBaking-Pans, vof which the followinfr is a specification.

'My invention relates to multiple baking pans suchA as used by bakers,and the like,

and the object of this improvement i'S the provision cfa simple andeii'cient baking pan of the character mentioned, and one which isdurableand easily kept clean and sanitary.

Other objects will appear' hereinafter. -An embodiment of mylinventionis shown in the Aaccompanying drawing, forming a -made up of three unitpans 5. It will be understood that more Athan or less than three pansmay be used in a multiple baking pan embodying my invention when sodeslred. It` will be apparent that the frame inclosing the pans will bemade to suitthe Ving two substant1ally parallel end plates;-`

required number.

The frame of my construction is prefer ably made up of two side bars6'd1sposed across the ends of all of the pans close u under the rims ofthe latter, as clearly indi cated in 4the drawing; At thel sidesof theoutermost pans 5 I provide end plates 7 which preferably `cover theremote sides of said end pans, substantially as indicated in Fig. 2.'The end plates 7 are provided with ears 8 on their upper end edgeswhich are folded back, when the pan construction is complete,v and theend portions. of bars 6 fold over on the ears 8 and secured thereto.

l preferably secure the ears and the ends yof-the bars 6 together byweldlngy soldering, y

,5 a plane portion 13 with 'its lateral edges 11 turned sharply under itandeurved incre than halfway around the adjacent rims of the pans 5. Themetal of members 9 is preferably of a thickness and strength so thattheparts V9 may be clamped `around on thewired rims 10 and retain a hold onsuch rims to securely hold the member 9 onto the rims of -the pans. Eachmember 9-is provided wlth a portion'12 which engages a lbar 6 and ispreferably secured thereto by welding, soldering, brazing, or the like.The parts l2 are preferably placed on the inner sides of the bars 6 sothat the outer sides of said bars will be smooth. When the outer sidesof l.the bars i 6 are provided without irregularities the pans aremoreeasily handled since they will not catch oneachrother y Y in moving themabout.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of myinvention, I do. not desire to be limited to the precise details setforth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and changes as`come within th i scope of the appended claims. f

I claim:

1.I A multiple baking pan comprising a.

frame; a plurality f pans disposed in said frame with their rimsadjacent said frame; and members near the ends of and between said panshaving portions extending more than half way around and clamped on the'rims ofthe pans, said members being welded to said frame. i

2. A multiple baking pan frame comprisears attachedV to the ends of saidend plates and disposed against .the remote sides of said end plates;and side bars extending ,between the endsof said end plates and havmeanssecuring the ans to said bars.

v 4. A multiple ba ing pan comprising a plurality of pans having wiredrims; a frame extending around said pans close up under said wired rimsand members having end portions jdisposed on and secured to the innersides ofsaid frame providing a smooth' surfacevat the oliter side ofthe'frame, there being portions of said members disposed be.- tween theend portions of the pans and se- -cured to the latter.

of the plane portion disposed at an angle to the latter portion.

6. A pansecuring member for multiple providing a frame-engaging bakingpans comprising sheet material having a narrow plane portion withportions at the longitudlnal edges ofsaid plane port1on adapted to beclamped on pan rims;

and a portion at one end of said plane portion disposed at an angle tothe latter and providing a frame engaging portion.

'7: A pan securing member for multiple baking pans comprising anirregular piece of sheet metal cut out and formed with a narrow centralplane portion with portions at the longitudinal edges of said planeportion bent back sharply under the edges of the latter and disposed incurves extending through more'than half circles providing clamps adaptedto engage the Wired rims of pans, and a portion disposed at an angle tosaid plane portion adapted to lie flat against a pan frame.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification on thisth day of April, A. D. 1918.

JOSEPH GEORGE JACKSON.
